IRosa  Xee  Oxer. 

[From  Junior  Builders,  August,  1897.] 

Rosa  Lee  Oxer  was  born  May  5,  1868,  in 
Preble  county,  Ohio.  After  finishing  the  course 
taught  in  the  country  schools,  she  entered  the 
Richmond  normal  school  and  took  a  three- 
years’  course,  graduating  at  the  age  of  seven¬ 
teen.  She  then  taught  two  years  in  a  district 
school.  Not  feeling  satisfied  with  her  educa¬ 
tion,  she  took  a  three-years’  course  in  the  In¬ 
diana  State  University.  During  those  three 
years  she  became  a  Christian,  and  fully  decided 
to  study  for  the  foreign  missionary  work.  She 
next  went  to  Cornell,  N.  Y.,  to  take  one  year  in 
post-graduate  work,  but  owing  to  poor  health, 
she  returned  home  before  the  year  closed. 
After  this  she  studied  medicine  for  one  year, 
at  Hiram  College,  Hiram,  Ohio,  and  then  went 
to  Cleveland,  where  she  finished  her  course 
with  honors.  On  the  4th  of  November,  1896,  she 
left  the  home  of  her  childhood  and  her  friends, 
to  work  in  Mahoba,  India,  for  the  Giver  of  all 
good  and  perfect  gifts.  May  the  Lord  be  with 
her  and  protect  and  guide  her  through  this  un¬ 
even  journey  of  life,  is  the  prayer  of  her  mother.
